From Concept to Production—Our Step-by-Step Process Turns Ideas into Ready-to-Manufacture Designs with Expert Pattern Development, Sewn Prototyping, Batch Testing, and Comprehensive Tech Packs for Manufacture.

Before you can develop your idea, you need to be able to show it. This guided course helps you turn inspiration into a clear, professional design.

We transform your design into a 3D model on an industry standard dress form for you to review and approval before moving into real-life prototyping.

Test and refine your design through a prototyping process that rapidly moves from mock up to final draft at lower cost and risk.

Once you have a feasible prototype, we can replicate it for user studies, material and fit testing, print application or market validation.

STEP 4

TECH PACKS

Once the development of your design is done, we combine all of the construction data into a complete and comprehensive instruction manual.

STEP 5

MANUFACTURE

Large or small, when you need inventory we can get you to the right manufacturer for your business needs.
